The graphics of the game are generally praised for their modern quality and vibrant visuals, especially considering it is an indie title. However, some players noted inconsistencies and a faded appearance in certain areas, likely due to post-processing effects and adjustments made to improve visibility. Overall, while the graphics are appealing, there are some concerns regarding art style changes and occasional glitches.
- “Despite it being an indie game, the graphics and handling are great.”
- “But the graphics look somewhat better and more vibrant.”
- “Fast game with modern-day graphics and easy controls that move from location A to B to C and so on.”
- “Extreme looks like they just added post-processing, which made the visuals look faded and inconsistent.”
- “Most likely this was done because people complained about the effects making it hard to see, rather than just an artstyle change like I thought before.”
- “It doesn't explain away all of the changes done with the graphics, but that could be a factor in why the lighting and particle effects were toned down.”
